We created this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to give you confidence as you visit and use any of our Sites, and to demonstrate our commitment to fair information practices and the protection of your privacy. This Privacy Policy is only applicable to our Sites and our business, and not to any other websites that you may be able to access from any of our Sites, each of which may have data collection, storage and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy.

The Processor Agreement will set forth the third party’s agreement to meet the requirements of the EU for processors of personal information of EU residents. We use your Demographic Data to customize and tailor your experience on any of our Sites that you visit, displaying content that we think you might be interested in and according to your preferences.
